[150904] Sociopsychotronics – altered.states

This Speisekino focuses on media actions and re-actions in the aftermath of social movements, political turmoil and their (darkish) phase-transitions. It points forward to the transmediale 2016 “Conversation Piece” and one of its thematic streams “Anxious to Act” as facilitated by Oliver Lerone Schultz. In the center of this evening is the long-standing psychotronic work of Turkish activist, musician and filmmaker Serhat Köksal who under his 2/5 BZ moniker will present the live audiovisual performance “GEZILLA DESTROYS ISISTANBUL”, for this occasion updated and served with the glazing “BERLISTANBUL: THE WORLD'S BIGGEST JUSTICE PALACE“ in collaboration with Zeynep Sarikartal. The performance is preluded by an introductory discussion around a video section projecting an upfront dialogue between the conversationalists. This part will introduce sensory deprivation and sensory politics in general as a faceted cross-link between repression, corruption, consumerism and escapism. Bon appétit!
